A moose broke into a classroom without warning and caused the evacuation of children
The animal crashed into Sylvia Fedoruk School on Thursday, crashing through the “front window” of the community room, according to school officials. There were no major injuries.
Children were evacuated and authorities arrived at the school to tranquilize the moose, which was safely released into the wilderness around Saskatoon.
Soooo the moose in Saskatoon just broke through the window at Sylvia Fedoruk school.
No one was hurt. Kids are fine.

The school has reported that the incident occurred before classes began at around 9 a.m., and that one child suffered a minor injury but did not require medical treatment.
Screenshots shared by a parent on Twitter revealed alert messages sent by Sylvia Fedoruk School, which informed parents that “a moose broke the glass in the community room.”
A follow-up message told parents that “the moose has been tranquilized and removed.”
It took 45 minutes to remove the moose from the classroom, and conservation officers reportedly said the moose was in good condition.
Ben Denis, a local resident who reportedly followed the moose that was taken from Saskatoon to the outskirts of the city, told CBC News that it was the kind of “feel good” story people needed after the covid.
The girls and I had an exciting walk to school this morning. Overhearing the school intercom about 5 minutes after this… apparently the moose has made it INTO the school?! Poor little guy! @CBCSaskatoon @CBC #sylviafedorukschool #saskatoon #onlyincanada pic.twitter.com/Dtrnmia7VW
